Prefab Sprout - The Devil Has All the Best Tunes lyrics

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Heads or tails once I forget
I'm trying to master a new alphabet
Far too obliging to ever admit
I've never been keen on this
'Here boy' and 'Sit'

I don't want that ghost coming back again
Who will play fair?
For when I say this is double or quit's
I double and stay ay ay

One fine day there must be some old saying
I can say with truth in my heart
No sub-clauses in the way
And now make a start
The devil always has the finest tunes
Of course it's always over much too soon

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Open yolk, there was a time I'd smile
Tell (many lies)
Like I want you then so I want you now
Lighting will pеrpetuate your mess
As I count (on my fingеrs)
That we add up to so much less
(People can't be honey bees always)

Fee-fi fee, fo-fi-fum
I see you have met my stumbling tongue
Just one more faux pas that I can commit
Learning the French for my eternal with

I'm standing outside this narrative
What can I do? Should I feign sleep
Or just cloister my heart and bury it deep?
(, By-the-by, construction)

One fine day, there must be some old saying
I can say with truth in my heart
No sub-clauses in the way
And now make a start
The devil always has the finest tunes
Of course it's always over much too soon
There must be someone saying
I can say with truth in my heart
Paul McCartney's 'Yesterday'
And now make a start
The devil always has the finest tunes
And of course it's always over much too soon
There must be some old saying
I can say with truth in my heart
Paul McCartney's 'Yesterday'
And now make a start
The devil always has the finest tunes
And of course it's always over much too soon
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
